The Hidden Reasons Behind RAM Overcost in Bangladesh
Key Reasons for RAM Overcost

1. Import Taxes and Duties
Most RAM is imported. Import tax, VAT, and customs charges increase the final price.

2. Currency Exchange Rate
When the value of the Bangladeshi Taka falls against the US Dollar, hardware prices rise.

3. Limited Local Supply
Few importers control the market, which reduces competition and increases prices.

4. Distribution and Middlemen Costs
Multiple layers of distributors add extra cost before the product reaches customers.

5. Global Market Fluctuations
International RAM chip shortages and price hikes affect local pricing.

6. Warranty and Service Costs
Official warranty support adds cost compared to unofficial or grey-market products.
